📔📝📑 this is an entry for @_ulzzzang 's writing competition !! ⠀ [💘q; tell me about someone you love ♡] ⠀ my grandfather is like every old-generation Chinese man, quiet, serious and rarely shows his affection. we Chinese, call men like that "大男人" because they believe they're the man of the house and are allowed to make final decisions on everything. ⠀ despite this, I love my grandfather with all my heart. he's 87 years old this year, and he is still a healthy man, he likes to watch news updates about China, as he believes that's where he truly belongs, despite being a permanent resident in Malaysia for so many years. no one really understands why I love my grandfather so much, but I'll tell you why: ⠀ he studied Chinese medicine all on his own when he was younger, learning skills from other Chinese medical doctors and eventually opening his own shop when he earned enough money. he still grows his own herbs till this very day, and it is him that always nags at how I should eat more of those herbs to cure my every illness. ⠀ he doesn't show his affection well, but it is him that let's me hug him tight and tells me to study hard all the time. and although he hates taking pictures, he will always let me take pictures with him. he even gave me a small photograph of his young self, in which I stuck on the wall of my study table, so I'd forever have him with me. ⠀ maybe this might not be the typical love story, but it is a story about my grandfather, who I love more than any other man in the world. ⠀ "外公我愛你 願你長命百歲。" ⠀ — love.

Sailing into the weekend ... I got very twitchy as my curved wood supply was getting very low. It's sort of a lucky dip ... as all the wood I used is from reclaimed ( off cuts ) from a bespoke furniture company ... who sell the bags for firewood. .. then to my delight I picked a whole sack of waves ... sighing with relief . Does anyone else rely on per chance ? Happy weekend everyone xx
